-
|Romanos 13:1| Everyone is to obey the governing authorities, because there is no authority except from God and so whatever authorities exist have been appointed by God.
-
|Romanos 13:2| So anyone who disobeys an authority is rebelling against God's ordinance; and rebels must expect to receive the condemnation they deserve.
-
|Romanos 13:3| Magistrates bring fear not to those who do good, but to those who do evil. So if you want to live with no fear of authority, live honestly and you will have its approval;
-
|Romanos 13:4| it is there to serve God for you and for your good. But if you do wrong, then you may well be afraid; because it is not for nothing that the symbol of authority is the sword: it is there to serve God, too, as his avenger, to bring retribution to wrongdoers.
-
|Romanos 13:5| You must be obedient, therefore, not only because of this retribution, but also for conscience's sake.
-
|Romanos 13:6| And this is why you should pay taxes, too, because the authorities are all serving God as his agents, even while they are busily occupied with that particular task.
-
|Romanos 13:7| Pay to each one what is due to each: taxes to the one to whom tax is due, tolls to the one to whom tolls are due, respect to the one to whom respect is due, honour to the one to whom honour is due.
-
|Romanos 13:8| The only thing you should owe to anyone is love for one another, for to love the other person is to fulfil the law.
-
|Romanos 13:9| All these: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, and all the other commandments that there are, are summed up in this single phrase: You must love your neighbour as yourself.
-
|Romanos 13:10| Love can cause no harm to your neighbour, and so love is the fulfilment of the Law.
